International Business Mail is a service with a range of sorting and delivery
options which covers Letters, Large Letters (previously known as Flats)
and a mixture of post, (which includes parcels). All these are described in
the International Business Mail User Guide.
Pricing your mail
Once you have selected the options you wish to use, calculate the price using
the tables on the following pages.
For more information about International Business Mail and to view the
User Guide, please visit www.royalmail.com/internationalbusinessmail
Four easy steps to calculate your postage cost.
For each pricing option:
Multiply the number of items by the price per item
Multiply the total weight (excluding the bag weight) by the price per kg
Add these two amounts together
You then need to add the cost of any supplementary services if using
Zero Sort Premium.

Remedial work charges for
International Business Mail
Mail prepared or presented incorrectly risks being delayed, since we have
to remove it from our system and carry out the necessary work to ensure it
can be delivered where possible. This is known as remedial work. The effect
of any remedial work is to slow down mail, which increases costs. We have
to pass these costs onto customers presenting items incorrectly. These costs
may include charges from overseas postal authorities, if the item is in breach
of international postal regulations. Please note that some items presented
incorrectly may have to be returned to the original sender.
Charges for remedial work, as set out in the table below and will be made
against the original product codes. These charges are agreed as representing
the increased costs to Royal Mail caused by the need to perform the
remedial work.
Please note that all remedial work will incur VAT at standard rates.
